No matter what, you are still you.

A diagnosis, or a professionally assessed lack of one, can only help you understand better.

“Ok so he’s corrupt but he also helped provoke one of the most brutal wars our generation has ever seen and made me look good for threatening to stop supplying them with bombs, so can’t you cut him some slack?”

Yeah that was kinda my point :) A cloud controlled device from a tech giant is supposed to shit on the floor start doing ads and invade your privacy. It’s what they do. Like ponies pooping, you should expect it on purchase.

It’s a reasonable explanation.

Cesium is highly radioactive, and the sensors are very sensitive.

When Iceland had the Huefaleflefthaflafla volcano outbreak, I could smell the sulphur from my house. In Norway. More than 1500 km / 900 miles across half the atlantic ocean.

So radioactive smoke being detectable 1.5 miles away makes sense to me.

My pet pony keeps shitting on the floor.

I am very frustrated and did not expect it.

I should sell it off and buy a horse instead.

Not quite like that. There is an internal wifi that I can’t get onto, and a public “guest” wifi that half of the tech staff uses and VPNs from.

Basically the protected wifi only really works on locked-down windows machines, and those aren’t usable for most developers. It’s mostly mac and linux there, and while the protected wifi is supposed to work on those, the IT staff don’t know how.

Well, I do. But it’s because the security layers on the wifi are more strict than on the VPN to such a degree that I can’t actually connect to it from my work laptop.

Not respective to most common ads, but boy howdy am I easy to sell stuff to if advertised in “my way”.

E.g. “this jacket is used by famous cool man” less effective, while “this nail gun can fire nails at precise speeds” fuck yes give me one I’ll figure out why I need it later.

Perfect description. For bonus points add doubt to every step:

Should I wash the pot more before using it to fill water, or is it enough to rinse it?

There is stuff in the sink. Will it cause me to spray water when filling the pot over it? What if I hold the pot too low and get tomato sauce on it. I’ll have to clean it. Where is the dish rag in case I need it?

Should I rinse the filter first? I heard it recommended.

Should the coffee put in the filter be flattened? Or is it okay in a little mound like it always is.

How cold will I have to wait for the grounds to be before I take the filter out, and is there space in the garbage? What if it leaks again and I get a small coffee puddle in the drawer under the bin bag that is so hard to clean.

It looks like a garbage trail littered with corpses. https://allthatsinteresting.com/mount-everest-bodies

Same. And it was more a “how did they manage” than a “would they”, because of course they would.

No?

What?

I still want racist shits being jailed for hurting people, tho’, and there is no conflict in that.

Ok I read through it and this my best effort to rate it as you requested:

You explain your fears well.

The post is a worst-case outcome with all the dials turned to maximum, and a few more added for good measure. All catastrophic assumptions are made, while no mitigating or positive assumptions are made.

In your post “may” becomes “will” without any sources to back up the likelyhood, which I will point to as why you are not getting strong reception.

And by sources I means “this has happened here”. Not appeals to imagination.

You seem excited about a dystopia that you believe is imminent and have not shown that you understand why or what.

Yet you want other people to echo your excitement.

When handwaving doesn’t bring people aboard and they start a discussion, it upsets you instead of leading you to analyze your position.

Do better.

You should be able to do better than shifting to insults when your point is reasonably challenged.

It’s like cryptobros responding “enjoy being poor loser” when asking how their tech was intended to work.

Please summarize for me since I missed it, then. What does the video say to counter my statement that a person making public threats in public forum is old illegal not new illegal.

This case? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c703e03w243o

Inciting violence has been illegal in most countries for ages. Publicly doing that anywhere - Facebook or otherwise - is both illegal and actionable.

There is no exciting surveillance conspiracy around someone breaking the law in a public forum.
